SURFACE ACTIVATION

Surface activation of silicone

To improve the adhesion of coatings on silicone surfaces, we increase the surface energy of the components using an activation process. Bonds on the silicone surface are broken and functional oxygen groups are formed. The result is particularly good adhesion of paints, adhesives and other coatings to the component surface.

The properties of the activation process

Long-term stability for further processing – e.g. bonding at the customer’s premises – even after months
Perfectly coordinated with our coating systems for optimum, permanent adhesion
